The publications housed in the Magid Center are staffed, designed, managed, and written by UI undergraduate students. They provide students with the educational experience of producing a literary magazine, as well as the chance to run meetings/improve interpersonal skills, gain valuable editorial/proofreading experience, gain marketing/design experience, practice professional workplace behavior, share work publicly, build community relationships, and work with established authors.

The Magid Center is home to:
